UVA Law Professor and Policing Scholar Rachel A. Harmon I Believe in Productive Procrastination December 10, 2020 Rachel A. Harmon is a professor at the University of Virginia School of Law, where she directs the Center for Criminal Justice. A leading scholar of policing, she previously served as a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, where she investigated and prosecuted civil rights crimes including hate crimes and cases of excessive force and sexual violence by police officers and other government officials. Before participating in the “What Would Society Look Like Without Police?” panel, part of the Zócalo/University of Toronto series The World We Want, she visited the virtual Zócalo green room to talk triathlons, why Supreme Court justices are just like the rest of us, and why she moved from prosecution to academia.
